The second generation of the MINI Countryman is the biggest and most
versatile model in the entire range of the tradition-steeped British
brand. And another superlative now applies to the power unit of the
MINI John Cooper Works Countryman. With an output of 170 kW, it is the
most powerful engine ever to be fitted in a MINI: in combination with
the standard all-wheel drive system ALL4 and a robust vehicle concept,
it ensures that the latest addition to the family of top
John Cooper Works athletes takes the MINI experience to a whole new
level – in terms of both race track feeling on the road and extreme
driving fun over unsurfaced terrain.

The new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman (combined fuel consumption:
7.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 168 g/km) sprints from zero to
100 km/h in 6.5 seconds with both the standard 6-speed manual
transmission and 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. The superior
performance qualities of the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman are
likewise reflected in its elasticity on interim sprints, cornering
agility and deceleration performance. These qualities are the product
of an overall package that has been compiled based on John Cooper
Works racing expertise, including not just the engine and all-wheel
drive system but also a sports suspension with 18-inch John Cooper
Works light alloy wheels and Brembo sports brake system, special body
features to optimise aerodynamic properties and cooling air intake,
and a model-specific cockpit with John Cooper Works sports seats. The
exceptional standing of the new MINI John Cooper Works Countryman
within the premium compact segment is underscored by means of
exclusive standard features including MINI Driving Modes, LED
headlamps, Comfort Access and the Radio MINI Visual Boost.
